There is no doubt that we are quickly becoming the preferred suppliers for many rig owners, rig managers and technical departments to carry out specialist engineering projects. Our experience to date covers hundreds of systems designed and tested for many major drilling contractors worldwide.

Monitor Systems were asked to upgrade the Bulk Tank Control System on the Sedco 711. New guided wave radar sensors were installed in all six bulk tanks to measure bulk level, also giving bulk weight and volume calculations.

A remote display panel assembly was supplied in a wall mounted GRP enclosure with glass viewing aperture. As per standard procedures, we carried out a full factory acceptance test procedure at our Aberdeen facility prior to delivery.

Brace Leak Detection System: As part of the upgrade of the rig, a provision was made for a Brace Leak Detection System utilising sixteen sensors. Monitoring each individual brace prior to installation was by manual means.

Each leak detection sensor was located down the column at the bottom of the sounding tube connected to the brace. The sensor signals will now be received in the control room.

Visual indication along with a sounder was fitted to the display panel giving a warning of any leak in any of the monitored braces.
